Befriend your body. Rewrite the story of your life.
Dear beautiful –
From the bottom of my wisdom heart, thank you for signing up for The Nest. Your membership at the Copper level starts right now, with immediate access to secret blog posts that I don’t share anywhere else.
Your membership begins today, and you’re already logged in. If you need to log in again, there’s a red login button at the top of each page here on Sevamama.com. You’ll also find a secondary login in the right middle of the page when you access the Journal (what I call my blog) tab.
The Copper level is a wonderful place to explore the teachings I offer, including monthly themed anchor posts, yoga tutorials that you can do at home, and my wildcard posts. If you’re ready to soar, take a look at Nest levels that include 1:1 Wisdom Guidance (and don’t forget that upgrading to the Silver level gives you access to Ayurvedic recipes). You can change or cancel your membership at any time. Due to the nature of this work, no refunds are available for partial months.
I look forward to seeing you in the treetops.
Much love,
Sonja
In Your Words
“I am a changed person because of Sonja and so are my relationships.”
"I was surprised by how well Sonja really listened to me, and not just my words. She is present, and thus can find the deeper expression among all the rambling and 'I don’t knows.'"
"Sonja is a wise, authentic guide teaching deep and mind-blowing truths using a fun, light-hearted approach.
After each session, I feel more in touch with my intuition and filled with optimism."
The Journal
Labor Pains
I don’t classify the birth of my daughter as traumatic, but some people have done it for me. I remember when she was about seven weeks old and an acquaintance of mine, then childless, pulled me aside. She had heard that I had to transfer my planned home birth to the hospital. She gave me a look of pity. How traumatic that must have been, she said.
Journaling: A Sacred Ritual for Self-Care
I just finished a Facebook Live video on the power of ritual journaling for the Simple Ayurveda Facebook group, led by the beautiful Angela Perger. I was so inspired by what I got to talk about there that I wanted to share it again here. (Join the group and you can see the full video.)
Angela’s topic for the month is the power of ritual. I adore ritual. It marks every part of my day. Ritual is what makes my dinacharya, or daily routine, holy. When my routines are ritualized, I approach them with devotion. I make them a celebration of my aliveness.
Examining Your Gooey Insides
I have found that while all births are unique, they all share this in common: They aren’t what was expected.
And it’s not only in birth, all forms of passage (i.e., the events that fundamentally shape us as humans) have this in common. Because if we knew exactly the course we were going to take, we would never have been able to accept the wisdom that we gained from the journey.
“On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure.”
The Bhagavad Gita 2:40
